This is a grid of twelve small, messy sketches. Each one shows a tangled, abstract figure—mostly just shapes and blobs in pink, blue, and gray. The lines are loose, like quick scribbles, and some squares have more color than others. The artist mixed watercolor with pencil and pen, letting the colors bleed together. Some sketches look almost like a half-finished idea, while others feel more worked-out. Try looking up watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up color like this.
